Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S2 | TP-Link Tapo RV30 Max Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $1399.99 | $219.99 |
| Release Year | 2026 | 2024 |
| Claimed Suction (Pa) | 30,000 Pa — the biggest claim on this page, and up from 8,000 Pa on the eufy Omni S1 it replaces. Vacuum Wars still scores its mopping about 20% below average, which is the whole argument against reading Pascals as a ranking | 5,300 Pa. TP-Link is one of the few brands not inflating the figure — the eufy Omni S2 on this page claims 30,000 Pa for a robot costing six times as much, and Vacuum Wars' bench numbers do not scale anything like 6:1 |
| Independent Test Result | Vacuum Wars ranked it #3 overall in their 2026 Top 20 with a perfect 24/24 obstacle score and 87% carpet sand removal against 61% for the S1 — but its dried-stain mopping score of 82 points is about 20% below average, and they measured slower navigation than the S1 | TP-Link claims 97%+ dust pickup. Tom's Guide found it handled larger debris well but 'struggles with large amounts of pet hair' and called the mopping basic. PCMag gave the line an Editors' Choice and Best of the Year 2025 |
| Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance | 3D MatrixEye 2.0 — computer vision plus structured light recognising 200+ household objects. Perfect 24/24 in Vacuum Wars' obstacle course, matching the Roborock Saros 10R | LiDAR turret plus IMU dead-reckoning, with a camera for mapping. Obstacle handling is sensor-based, not AI object recognition — it will not identify what it is about to hit |
| What the Maker Promises About Pet Waste | eufy markets pet-waste recognition as part of MatrixEye's 200+ object library but publishes no replacement guarantee | TP-Link makes no pet-waste avoidance claim for this model |
| Mop System | HyperStream 2.0 roller mop at 240 rpm with 15 N down-pressure, washed continuously during the run | Clip-on damp microfibre pad fed from a 300 ml tank with 3-level electronic flow control. A wet cloth dragged behind the robot, not a scrubbing mop |
| Mop Lift Over Carpet (mm) | 28 mm (1.10 in) on carpet detection — nearly three times the ECOVACS X11's 10 mm and the only lift here that clears a thick pile rug | None. The pad does not lift. TP-Link's answer is that the robot avoids carpet in mop mode; Tom's Guide confirms you must zone rugs off by hand or physically remove the pad |
| Dock Type & Plumbing | Self-empty, hot-water mop wash, hot-air dry, water electrolysis and auto detergent dosing. A separate Auto Refill & Drainage version plumbs into a supply and drain; the standard dock does not | Auto-empty dock only. No mop washing, no water refill, no plumbing option |
| Dock Mop Wash & Dry | 140°F (60°C) heated wash — TechRadar reports 70°C — then 131°F (55°C) hot-air drying, with built-in water electrolysis (Eco-Clean ozone) and automatic detergent dosing. Sources conflict on the wash temperature; eufy quotes both. The dirty-water tank is still emptied by hand | None. You rinse the pad in the sink — Tom's Guide says weekly |
| Dock Bags & Running Cost | 2.5 L bag with a 68-day rating, so roughly 5-6 bags a year. TechRadar describes the base as taking generic 2.5 L dust bags rather than a locked proprietary part, which if it holds is a meaningful saving over Roborock and iRobot. Add detergent and fragrance capsules, which are eufy-branded consumables | 3 L disposable bag rated by TP-Link at up to two months, so about 6 bags a year. TP-Link does not publish a US price for its own replacement bags on the product page; third-party multi-packs are the usual route |
| Robot Bin Capacity (ml) | 330 ml | 300 ml onboard, plus a 300 ml water tank |
| Rated Runtime (and at what setting) (min) | Up to 180 minutes across four modes (Quiet, Standard, Turbo, Max) — eufy's figure is the quiet mode. Vacuum Wars measured slower navigation efficiency than the cheaper S1 it replaces | TP-Link's own spec sheet says max runtime 3 hours (180 minutes) from a 2,600 mAh cell — that is the lowest suction level. Charging takes 4 hours |
| Account, Cloud & Camera Privacy | eufy account required and maps are cloud-synced. Camera on board with remote viewing. eufy is the brand that marketed local-only storage on its security cameras and was then caught uploading footage to the cloud unencrypted, and privacy write-ups note eufy's policy allows sharing personal identifiers with advertising partners — hold its privacy marketing to a higher burden of proof than most | TP-Link/Tapo account required and maps live in the Tapo cloud. No user-facing camera stream on the robot, so no remote-video privacy question. TP-Link's US warranty page gives robot vacuums 1 year, with wear items covered for only 30 days |
| Warranty | 12 months | 12 months |
| Colors | White | White |

Pros & Cons
eufy Robot Vacuum Omni S2
Pros
- +28 mm mop lift is in a different league — this is the one robot here you can run on a plush rug without wetting it
- +Perfect 24/24 obstacle score and 87% carpet sand removal, both at the top of Vacuum Wars' 2026 rankings
- +42 mm threshold clearance handles doorway transitions that stop most of this field
- +Fully automated dock: electrolysed water, auto detergent dosing, hot wash and hot dry
Cons
- −The 30,000 Pa headline is the largest claim here and Vacuum Wars scores its mopping about 20% below average — the clearest single proof that Pascals do not predict cleaning
- −$1,399.99 makes it the most expensive robot on this page, and the $699 ECOVACS X11 mops far better
- −eufy's own wash-temperature claim varies between 60°C and 70°C depending on where you look
- −eufy's privacy record is the weakest here: it was caught uploading security-camera footage after marketing local-only storage
- −Vacuum Wars found navigation efficiency slower than the cheaper S1 and threshold climbing inconsistent above 32 mm
TP-Link Tapo RV30 Max Plus
Pros
- +The cheapest way here to get a proper LiDAR map, multi-floor storage and a self-empty dock
- +22 mm barrier climbing beats several robots costing three times more
- +TP-Link quotes an honest 5,300 Pa rather than joining the five-digit Pascal race
- +One app for the vacuum and the rest of a Tapo camera/plug household
Cons
- −The mop pad cannot lift, so on a mopping run the robot simply refuses to go on carpet — you zone your rugs out by hand
- −Tom's Guide found it struggles with heavy pet hair, and there is no anti-tangle brush design
- −No AI obstacle recognition at all: cables and socks are hit, not avoided
- −TP-Link does not publish a replacement-bag price, and wear items carry only 30 days of warranty cover
- −Street price has ranged from about $162 to the $299.99 list, so the 'deal' depends entirely on timing
